Work Field: Questions, Material and Methods

In this class, I presented the Questions, Material and Methods for the work field.The objective of this work was to assess the main factors driving plant distribution in coastal sand dunes. To address this objective we formulated three questions:

1.How deep are diversity dynamics of dune plant communities affected by the sea-to-inland gradient? 
 2.How deep are diversity dynamics of dune plant communities affected by beach access paths? 
 3.How is functional diversity dynamics of dune plant communities affected by both gradients? 
Work field will be done in the Praia Morena dunes, in Costa da Caparica. The experimental design and main statistical analyses were presented in the class
